Here's something I stumbled on in a Chyna shoot video. Does Howard Finkel really have a huge porn collection?

Hopefully NXT bound but I think NJPW is a more realistic option.

Jump to 3:40 and you'll see what happens when a main-eventer goes into business for herself against a rising star.

 

Word is that Yoshiko was jealous of the popularity Act Yasukawa had achieved and wanted to teach her a lesson. Truth is it's a disgusting display and one that is totally unprofessional. I hope she gets her arse canned and ends up blacklisted from the business for this.

 

There's no place for it at all.

I guess we finally know where Sting has been for the last fourteen years now. Doing voiceover work for the Hitman games.

Very strong talk on multiple sites wwe are interested in ring of honor talent, more noticeably the Briscoes (again).

[DC 536]

It's on a much smaller scale, but the influx of top-level indy talent (with the promise of more to come) has parallels with the top territory stars all moving to the WWF at the same time during Vince's expansion.

In Japanese news...

 

NJPW (or Suzuki-Gun which is a NJPW stable of mostly NJPW talent) did a clean sweep of the NOAH GHC Titles this weekend. Minoru Suzuki beat Marufuji for the heavyweight title, Taichi won the Jr. Heavyweight title, Taka and El Desperado won the Jr. Tag titles and Archer and Davey Smith Jr. won the tag belts from Haste & Nicholls.

 

It has to be said if it wasn't for the help NJPW where giving NOAH by loaning them older talent like Tenzan, Kojima, Nakanishi, Izuika and the others mentioned above then the split where half the roster went back to AJPW would have killed them off. Ironically that split led in part to Wrestle-1 splitting from AJPW and that looks to be killing them.

 

Also the annual NJPW Cup finished over the weekend with Kota Ibushi who has been on stellar form of late defeating Hiroki Goto in the final and securing a IWGP Title shot against AJ Styles on Easter Sunday.

 

Cody Hall continues to earn his dues over there as well, finishing his first full tour as a Bullet Club member, taking all of the loses as per the usual Japanese rank system in the matches he has been involved in but he continues to train in the NJPW Dojo and who knows what might happen for him in the future.

Miz v Summer Rae in a knife fight says it all really. Looks like Miz has a black beard in some of the action shots.

Ric Flair blew the whole "Sting has been away for 14yrs" story for Sting while a panelist on WrestleMania Today on the Network.

 

"Michael Cole: You make a good point on Triple H, but what about Sting? He hasn’t been in the ring for how long?

 

Ric Flair: See, you’re wrong about that. He may have been on a limited schedule. Sting was in the ring once a week for the past 10 years. Book, you were down there with him for a little bit.

 

Booker T: *tries to change the subject*

 

Ric Flair: He didn’t wrestle guys like me and Booker, but he was in the ring."

Former ufc fighter Phil Baroni is claiming he is about to sign for wwe wrestlemania weekend

On the latest Wrestling Observer Radio, Meltzer says that Jimmy Jacobs is moving to Connecticut to work on WWE proper and not Orlando and NXT like he first reported.

He isn't going to be a writer. Edited March 28, 2015 by bigmatt

[Guest bigmatt]

What do you mean?

[Guest Jayfunk]

I heard he wasn't being hired as a wrestler but as a booker/writer Jacobs that is

[DC 536]

He isn't going to be a writer.

I heard he wasn't being hired as a wrestler but as a booker/writer Jacobs that is

So why did you say "he isn't going to be a writer" in your first post?

 

All the reports have been that Jimmy Jacobs is being hired for a creative position.
